MACON, Ga, Aug S--Capt. Richard y.
Voolfolk, living thirteen miles from Macon,
ON what Is known as the Columbus road, with
his wife, six children and visiting aunt of
Mrs Woolfolks were most brutally muir
dered Saturday morning The house where
the murder occurred is an ordinary four-room
country house, with wide hallway between
the rooms. In the rear room were found the
bodies OF the captain and Mrs Voolfolk;
Richard, aged 20; Pearl, a grown daughter;
Charlie, aged 8, and the baby, aged Is
months. In the room opposite weas the bodies
of Mrs. West (the aun and the two little
girls, Rosebud and Annie. Blood and brains
were scattered everywhere, and in the pas.
sageway was large pool of blood. Here,
also, was found an axe with a short handle.

on one bed, his two stepbrothers
occupying the others. He was awakened
about daybreak Saturday morning by the
groans of his father, who occupied the next
room. He also heard sounds of blows. He
fearing that the family would be murdered,
jumped out of the window and ran to the
house Of Green Lockett and got him to
arouse the neighbors and bring help Think
ing his turn might be next he kept away for
half an hour. Then he returned to find that
no help had arrived, then went into the house
and found the family had all been muir
dered
The jury brought in verdict of murder
against Thomas G. Voolfolk. Before the
verdict was announced the sheriff succeeded
in quietly removing him from the Jail here
The prisoner is cool, and talks of the crime
with indifference. The motive for the COM
mission of the crime is supposed be desire to
obtain possession Of his fathers property. If
the prisoner can be reached the courts will
be relieved of the expense OF his trial.

with you is ended.
Two years ago withoutany snl.oitation

You and commissioned as you brigadier
general. At that time you were without
organization except by companies. As
a battalion, or regiment you had never
been together. When his excellen,y

mander-in chief of the militia of the
territury, ordered Us into camp at Fargo
l must acknowledge 1 had some misgiv-
ings as to the result. My doubts how
ever were very quickly dispelled when
you first formed line at Camp Grant In
Fargo. Your drill, your soldierly bear.
ing and department were such during the
six days you were there in camp as to
win the highest praise from the regular
army officers who were sent by the war
department to inspect you, rs well as
from the commander in chief and all the
citizens OF Fargo.
True you were not on any bloody bat
tie. field, but the promptness with which
every order was obeyed by you, showed
that whenever ordered, or Whenever
called upon, and in whatever emergency,
you would do your whole duty as SOL
dlers. Your officers one end all, from the
governor down, left Camp Grant feeling
justly proud of you.
One year later you were again calls
together at Camp Hancock at Aberdeen.
The same officers of the regular army
were sent to inspect you. In the report
made to the war department by the in.
spector he said he could see q marked I'M
provement in You over the year before.
This of course was very gratifying to all
of your officers. Upon your march
through the town there were many old
veterans, officers and zen, who declared
they had never seen better marching by
old soldiers than was done by you that
day.
